The ongoing struggle between India and Pakistan has reached its peak. The tension between India and Pakistan has increased dramatically. Amidst this increasing stress, many claims are being made on social media platform WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook. Some claims on social media have become so viral that people are accepting them as true. Now we are going to tell you about one such viral claim.
Turn off the location service of your smartphone.
The social media platform is being claimed to keep the location services of your smartphone closed during the ongoing struggle between India and Pakistan. Through this location service, Pakistan is targeting the most populous areas. This claim went viral on social media. But now the PIB Fact Czech has said that this claim is false. He has also shared a post on social media in this regard.
What did PIB Fact Czech say?
The PIB Fact Czech has said that the claim to disable the location services going viral on social media is false. He has shared a post in this regard on the social media platform X. The PIB has said that no advisory has been issued by the government to discontinue the location service of the phone. Therefore, the claim made in viral messages is completely false. So do not believe in viral claims on social media.
What is being claimed in viral message?
The PIB Fact Czech shared a screenshot of viral message, stating that an important advisory has been shared on an official email. The mail states to stop the location service of your smartphone immediately. Email states that drones are being used to identify the most populous areas using the location service of the phone. This place is likely to be attacked. So keeping all these things in mind, stop the location service of your smartphone.
The PIB Fact Check has said that no such advisory has been issued by the Government of India. This is the propaganda of Pakistan. A few days ago, the government warned people about fake news being spread from Pakistan. The government had earlier also told the people not to trust such messages that go viral on social media. The government has now appealed again to Indian citizens to stay away from fake messages on social media.
